Garia society is cognatic or bilateral, with no easily recognizable political units, no system of rank, and a weak and localized authority system. This structural examination explores the ways in which social control is maintained. Of crucial significance in this situation is the ‘security circle’. Within the context of the principles underlying socio‐political action, central points of discussion are self‐regulation, religious sanctions and retaliation, and factors influencing the conduct of disputes. Leadership is not important in this connection, but the security circle is. Made up of bilateral kindred, affines, and persons in special relationships, it represents the principal means of maintaining and restoring socio‐political order
